If a blog has stopped delivering to your Kindle (“blogjams”)

Have you subscribed to a blog through the Kindle store, gotten it successfully, and then it just stopped delivering?

You are experiencing what I call a “blogjam”. I’ve been noticing a lot more of these since the 2.3 update (not that it’s clear that is the cause). The blog has been going out regularly, but you haven’t been getting it.

I don’t know if this has worked yet, will see with the next post.
I thought I would just subscribe to you blog until I got up and going with my Kindle but have since come to look forward to your post as much if not more than any others I get. Thanks!

hello…i love your blog it has tons of information, but have also noticed that they dont get updated everyday like it used to, i have called amazon………they have helped..not as much as u have…will it hurt the kindle to keep restarting when in need? hope to hear from you …. 🙂 patty v.

I had a really strange blog jam last night that jammed all my blogs. I subscribe to 5 blogs including this one and AP US News. Last night, updates for US News, NYTimes, and TV Guide downloaded. When I tried to open TV Guide, it contained a blank page with AP US News at the top. I thought maybe I’d accidentally clicked the wrong blog, but I tried again, got the same result. Tried NY times, got the same result, tried AP US News and got the same result. I even tried opening ILMK (which hadn’t updated) and it, too was blank with the AP US News at the top. I forgot about the empty cache and cookies trick mentioned here, so I I used the click and hold for 20 seconds reset trick, and that worked. I know it’s no use to write to Amazon when blogs go wonky because they seem to not have a clue about any of their blogs and their standard answer is always to contact the folks in charge of the blog. (Last time I tried to contact TV Guide about problems with their blog, I got sent to a company I’d never heard of that then claimed to never have heard of a TV Guide Kindle blog, but I digress.) Anyway, have you ever had a download of one blog cause all your other blogs to go blank except for the name of the other blog?
